5 Best things in life for Emma are:
1: Travel. Whether it's immersing myself in a isolated village in Vietnam or soaking up the sunshine on St.Kilda beach, I love every aspect of travelling and learning about new cultures and traditions. I aim to concquer every continent...five down, two to go!
2: Music. I love all types of music, from traditional Mongolian throat singers to Daft Punk, I think that variety is the spice of life. I love nothing more than to blast out my favourite song really loud and dance around my apartment with my microphone 'ahem' hairbrush singing to my hearts content :)
3: People: I think people are what make life so interesting, everyone has their own story to tell and I love meeting new people and discovering more about them and their personal stories.
4: Art: I love art in any shape or form, may it be sculpture a beautiful painting or a great piece of architecture. I love being inspired by every day objects and finding beauty in the least expected place.
5: Performance: I love watching performances of any kind, be it a street performer, band, or theatre. I went to Cirque du Soliel and had sensory overload, they were so amazing! Afterwards I wanted to run away with the circus, however I tried my hand at both contemporary dance and circus performance and soon discovered that I had two left feet, which put an end to that dream haha.
